“We decided we need to draw some attention to our Pick 4s,” Turfway president Bob Elliston said. “It has proven successful at Tampa Bay Downs, so we thought we would give it a shot.”

The Turfway holiday meet runs through Dec. 31. The three-month winter/spring meet begins the following day.

Elliston said the track will “give up a little revenue” with the reduction in takeout but hopes “to get a lot more volume” in the amount wagered into Pick 4 pools. He also said the move could draw more attention to various other “straight” wagers offered in each sequence.

“We want to get some eyes on our Pick 4s,” Elliston said. “Hopefully there will be some spillover.”
